Random Question Thread X: Fucking 99 Level Cap, How Does it Work?

[Motenten]

If I buy(sp) a FFXI Ultimate collection key will it work to activate the Add-Ons for Shantoto/ACP/Moogle?

Yes. I activated Shantotto/Moogle with mine.

How do NIN's who are upgrading Mozu katana's, do the last 2 VNM's?

Can you duo the Scorp/Pugil with a rdm or whm ?

You could probably solo the scorp /rdm, with bio/nukes. Probably would need some fov refresh or yag drinks.

Pug can be soloed by rdm, though i can't for the life of me remember where i kited it. I think it was a around a tree at H/I 7 of ronf, though i don't remember which tree it was. Probably any really big tree would work. Not sure how duoing it with a nin would go.

stupid question:

What T1 VNMs are the easiest for a BLU to solo?


and also, is a BLU able to solo the T2 VNMs in the northlands inorder to get to Ruthven?

I don't have the quest Beyond The Sun in my log and I've talked to Maat on first job I've beaten him on and subsequent jobs I've beaten him on, will this prevent me from obtaining a Maat's Cap? I've beaten him on 11/16 of the jobs and just finished leveling BST to 66. Or is this one of those quests that doesn't show up until after you've completed it?

Quest doesn't show up in log until after you've beat maat on every job.

You can definitely duo Jyeshtha with NIN and RDM and fight it straight-up, no kiting. At least one person should go /DRK. Just be really careful when Mighty Strikes is up.

I wanna make sure I understand the way campaign exp is calculated:

Wiki lists the cap per assessment for melee damage as 500 and for enfeebling magic 600.

Say that's all I do - no matter if the battle last 30 minutes or 60 minutes, I'm not making more than 1100 exp?

So, in order to make the most exp from campaign - if I know/believe I've hit the exp cap for those two areas - I should turn in tags and get new ones, correct?

Correct, those caps seem a little low however, and keep in mind you'll be getting autoattack rounds and crits as well. Campaign for a longish battle without removing tags, round it down for things you can't do fast (Status removal, Skillchains, finishing blows etc) and that's how long you should be campaigning for.

10XP:6+AN is nicely at cap, 10XP~:5AN means uncapped, assuming level is >=61

Do I lose all my key items I got from one guild if I switch to another guild?

I assume you're talking about crafting.
No, they're permanent key items. Emphasis on the permanent.

IMO Windy has the easiest T1s for BLU.

Could probably solo Feuerunke via DoTing it down with Diss easily with a refresh piece and maybe a few Yag drinks.

Erebus might be a problem since it can heal itself via self nuke and I'm not sure if BLU has spells which would allow for easy element manipulation, well not even sure if blue magic changes it.

Thank you sir. Was afraid I'd have to go and do it all over again.

[Clerix]

Can the last ASA fight still be SMN burned?

I remember after the server merges, it could not be. Has it been fixed?

Wouldn't have shadows outside of Zephyr Mantle, although I've never tried to nuke to change element then run away, always just ate the nuke. Probably do-able with good timing.

NIN can solo capricornus straight up, jyestha isn't a hard duo with a mage as was previously mentioned. Personally, would recommend NIN/WAR + WHM/NIN for ideal duo. Of course RDM can solo both, but if you're forced to go NIN solo isn't really an option.

To ppl who did Ultimatum scythe or other high DMG magian:

What's the story with Le Velue? Wiki has a ton of contradictory information on both article and discussion. Repop? Someone wrote 90min~ ish if you kill the right PH. is that true?

Getting hit by magic reduces accumulated enmity?

It's roughly a 90m respawn. Would pop fairly quickly. What wiki says is true. The Tenth Tiger out of the 29 is the PH. So if you stay @ the pink dot, you'll see all the Smilodon as /RNG. That's how I did it as COR/RNG.

If you mean taking magic damage, then yes. If you mean enfeebles...huh, no idea.
